Lizzie could remember everything that happened before she ended up here. She remembered Landon - no, not Landon, Malivore. MaliLandon, as she had started affectionately calling him. Either way, she remembered him in the cage in the gym, everyone staring at him and wondering what to do next. She remembered his barter. Horrible, horrible things heroes could never offer him. She remembered his threat to Hope, that all her friends would die, how he almost followed through with that threat. And she remembered her moment of clarity, the one way she knew she, a mere siphoner, could weaken him enough for Hope and the rest of the super squad to take down.
It certainly wasn't the first time she'd sacrificed her own life. How many times had she been just a little too willing to die in the name of being a hero? How many times had she actually died for her sister? Maybe that was one more thing she and Hope had in common - they were both a little too willing to dive right into Malivore's hellish depths.
Lizzie could remember everything that happened before she ended up here. No one else could.
